I've been thinking about finally moving to a rail launch pad and putting rail buttons on my rockets. I like the idea of having an 8' rail just in case i move onto some bigger and heavier rockets in the future. The problem is that putting an eight foot rail in my car will be a pain. It would probably fit but I don't like the idea of a long piece of metal jutting out into the front cabin area of the car.
Ideally it would be nice if i could just buy two 4' rails and then put them together at the launch site with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/80-20-Series-4-HOLE-JOINING/dp/B001IA6QH2/ref=pd_sim_indust_17 Of course it wouldn't be in that configuration but I hope you get the idea.
My question is; would putting two pieces together like that cause unaligned edges that could snag the rail buttons on the way up?
